Wisdom 14:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Showing that you can save from any danger,
so that even one without skill may embark.(A)
5 But you will that the products of your Wisdom be not idle;
therefore people trust their lives even to most frail wood,
and were safe crossing the waves on a raft.(B)
6 For of old, when the proud giants were being destroyed,
the hope of the universe, who took refuge on a raft,[a]
left to the world a future for the human family, under the guidance of your hand.
